Un rouleur infatigable
Last night my boys told me a curious pattern that repeats frequently when they talk to teachers and friends parents:

"Where are you from?"
"My mum is Japanese and my dad is British"
(Pause, then in sympathetic tones)
"So... does your dad drink lots then?"

I thought it was Russians with this reputation but apparently not...
And this is in the country that invented the Stein glass which holds 2 pints (?) of beer... :laugh:
 
Bu**er, migrane.

Everything to my right is a blur.

Remind me to shout lots next time you have a hangover.

Blurring is going down. Hopefully I'll be cycling on my own when I have the not remembering words thing.
Can you take anything? My wife suffers from migraines and has tried every medication under the sun, but nothing works or even helps a little. Rest and a dark room help.

Anti-nausea tablets and paracetamol reduce them from debilitating to annoying. Oddly I've found that pushing through the visual wierdness for 20 minutes seems to reduce the other effects later, but that could just be bbecause the anti-nausea meds have improved.

There is a nose spray available that theiretically reduces symptoms but it made little difference.

Hmm, still no money in the office 'milk tin' other than coppers. I don't know where everyone thinks the milf comes from, but it's been refreshed each week for the last month with no money. Office of about 15, and muggings has got the milk as I'm i early. :angry:

Must send a reminder after last week's fridge clear out.
Why doesn’t your firm pay for the milk/tea/coffee? This ain’t the dark ages.

Busy bee Reynard again, taking advantage of the window in the weather; two cases of logs cut from the stash of seasoned wood, plus three more dead bullaces cut down, turned into logs and stashed in the garage so they can dry. Plus I've hauled some large ash branches that came down in previous week's storm ready for sawing up.

Also have a large cherry tree that's come down - it's just snapped clean in two around shoulder height. Impressive, given it's about 18 inches across at the point where it snapped. Not sure how that happened, but given the damage, I'm suspecting a lightning strike.

Ah, woodland management... Still, I do get to play with some very nice tools. ^_^
